Where is the cabin air filter located in the new Audi A6L?
2 Answers
The cabin air filter in the new Audi A6L is located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. Before replacing the cabin air filter, the owner needs to remove the glove compartment. The cabin air filter separates solid impurities such as dust, pollen, and abrasive particles from the air. If these particles enter the vehicle, they not only pollute the car's air conditioning system and reduce the performance of the cooling system, but also cause allergic reactions when inhaled by passengers, which is detrimental to driving safety. The new Audi A6L is a sedan under the Audi brand, featuring standard Audi virtual cockpit. The interior is equipped with a 10.1-inch display, an 8.6-inch touchscreen below it, and a 12.3-inch full LCD instrument panel.
Attention to friends driving the new Audi A6L: The cabin air filter is quite well hidden. It's located behind the plastic cover above the passenger footwell, under the main driver's seat. Last time I replaced it myself, I had to first remove the passenger side sill trim, then lift the footwell vent cover. Reach inside and you'll feel a rectangular cover with plastic clips - gently pry it open with a flathead screwdriver to access the filter slot. Important note: The A6L's filter has dual layers - the upper layer is white non-woven dust filter, while the lower layer is activated charcoal. Wear gloves when replacing in winter as the clips become brittle and snap easily. After replacement, remember to run the AC at maximum blower for 5 minutes to prevent musty odors.
